Witnesses, according to authorities, say the Dios often left their daughter wandering around their apartment complex alone at night, begging for food.

The alleged abuse of the Dios' daughter only came to light after she was raped by four boys -- then ages 9, 10, 13 and 14 -- who lured her into a shed at their apartment complex near Thomas Road and 43rd Avenue in Phoenix.

Police were called to the scene after neighbors reported that they saw a young girl running out of the shed, half-nude and screaming. Numerous witnesses helped police identify the boy suspects.
